At the turn of the century and after three albums, Karate's tenure within the insular east coast indie rock scene had expired, but the band was just getting started. Collected here is the band's spacious, adventurous, and sometimes difficult second half presented in fastidious detail. This five LP box includes the trio's 'Unsolved' (2001), 'Some Boots' (2002), and 'Pockets' (2004) albums, a first time vinyl pressing of their 'Cancel/Sing' EP (2002), and recently unearthed rehearsal recordings of two unreleased tracks, all annotated by Geoff Farina's account of Karate's adulthood and Andy Hong's insights into the trio's recording process
